Only a few govt students to get MBBS seats this year

E. Grashiga from Coronation Girls Higher Secondary School in Sivakasi got 263 marks in the common medical entrance test. Though she is one of the toppers among Tamil medium students from government, government-aided schools, she said that she has only a remote chance to get an MBBS seat this year. “The Neet coaching was helpful. I gained more confidence after attending the coaching. But I felt that the experts finished the topics too fast during the residential coaching,” she said. She suggested that government should open coaching centres in all cities. “The weekend coaching was held at Virudhunagar, 35 km from my hometown Sivakasi. My school also conducted special classes during the weekends. So I could not attend the coaching classes fully,” she said.

She could have easily got above 300 marks but for the negative marks. “I got 49 negative marks in Neet. I am determined to become a doctor and have decided to study this year for Neet,” she said.Teachers and experts who conducted Neet coaching for these students suggested to government to pick students based on tests. “State government should start Neet coaching from plus 1. For plus 2 students, they should start coaching from the beginning of the academic year and should conduct frequent tests. Based on the test scores alone, they should select students for Neet residential coaching,” one of them suggested.
